WATTYS 2023 & 2022 SHORTLIST | 

Stella Donahue is in dire need of a fresh start.

A break. Away from the college town that's shunned her, away from the place she once called home. Her salvation comes in the shape of an old family friend's lake house and the promise of a summer all to herself. Not to forgive. Probably not to forget - no matter how hard she tries. But to continue to heal.

The surprise comes in the shape of Jacob Wilson.

Suddenly, with her somewhat estranged childhood friend living down the hall, Stella's summer of solitude becomes anything but. Though, maybe, reconnecting with Jake is exactly what she needs.All Rights Reserved

Camp Silverlake by tottiesx

Camp Silverlake was like an escape from reality. Nestled in the between a large forest and barren fields , the campsite stood far away from civilization. Everybody came for different reasons but they all wanted the same thing. An escape from their life back home. Stella Viotto was expecting a summer of fun when her best friend, Rose, suggested they become summer camp counselors at Camp Silverlake. She never expected to cross paths with their school's golden boy, Hayden Carter. He was every girl's dream. He had the good looks, the popularity, and was athletic. He was a known heart breaker and the biggest player at their school. When Hayden met Stella, he couldn't help but become intrigued by her. How had he never noticed her before at school? As they are forced to spend more time together, feelings evolve, hearts are broken, and new romance and friendships are formed in those short little summer months. But would it last after summer ends?

A Summer Reminiscent by OvercrazyFangirl2-0

"Yeah, I was born in August so naturally my parents thought it was a perfect name," I rolled my eyes for emphasis. "It gets annoying after a while though." As soon as August finishes her sophomore year in high school, her father sells their house and moves the family into their rental home on Rock Rose Beach. Faced with this new change, August longs for friendship, especially when she meets her next-door neighbor Jacob. "Well, I think it's a pretty name," he smiled again, which made his whole face light up. He stared at me for a minute more before asking, "I feel like I recognize you from somewhere, have we met before?" As her 17th birthday draws nearer, August begins to recall a past summer spent at the beach with Jacob when she was little. But was their closeness a thing of the past, or will she be able to rekindle what they might have had before?
